Facebook is very damaging to the fabric of society and this is just further evidence of it all. If Facebook employed an even remotely accurate sample of the population based on political leanings and backgrounds for their content policy team this would have never happened. I think the amount of blame the left and media placed on Facebook for the 2016 election of President Trump are to majorly to blame for the whole situation.

Well that seems really expensive to enforce.

Is this true for the young male population? I've not seen that data.

My mental math told me ~5 nautical miles, I checked and I was off by 0.07. Metric would be nice but most people who have flown can do the rough math in their heads.

'Individuals and groups' It's not that.. It's just Capital and it's always been Capital.

Where I'm from fried food of many types is common if not expected at medium to large gatherings. It keeps pretty well and is almost universally liked, especially when you have good sides. I think people are reading too much into every word because of the groups he's promoting.

I can't believe studios let their publishers force this kind of tech into their run loops.

This is probably my last iPhone and I'll just switch to a dumb phone after this because I can't deal with 'features' like this I can't turn off.

Alternatively if it's not available DRM free I'll just buy it and support the author from wherever and then pirate a DRM free copy and archive it.

Love the project and concept. Signed up to your email list.

My first company was a DARPA R&D contracting firm and at one point we made our own EEG's. We solved some interesting problems but being in a helmet in a war is probably an easier use case than a head band that's comfortable to sleep in... What are you using for electrodes in your prototypes? Do you use an aerogel or the usual synapse paste? I can't imagine a consumer product would work for the later but maybe the former.

The state of the art for my old applications seems to now be micro/nano scale electrodes, from only a quick google. I've been out of the space for a bit shy of a decade so I'm interested to know how far it's come and how you're going to make the product comfortable.

Yeah, true the mRNA SARS-COV vaccines aren't all that effective after many months however, it could work better for things that don't mutate as much as Coronaviruses. It could still be magic. We just don't know yet it's all relatively new tech medically speaking and this is the current vaccines using the tech are the first ever widespread usage of the tech. We'll see how it goes long-term No one really knows how well or not it's going to go.

You're not wrong. I'm gonna add AI to our pitch deck for our A probably will be able to raise an additional 40%.

That's pretty trivial 'AI'. The headline mentioning AI is just for clickbait, in reality it was just a remotely-operated drone gun with a fire control system.

I dunno... Worked for Twitch. Subscribe to a channel and no ads on their channel. They even used to offer an option to get no ads at all called turbo but Amazon canned that AFAIK.

CDC says ~ 60,000 to 2.5 million[1] which is a massive range spanning nearly 2 orders of magnitude. It's likely on the higher side because who calls the cops when they had to brandish a firearm to scare someone away... Brandishing is illegal in many states.

That changes the calculus even more.

Tor + Scripts is not good. You're probably right on why there isn't a newer version on their onion service.

There really isn't such a thing as straight journalism anymore. Most articles I've read are 'persuasion' pieces. It is rather sad.

I feel like the last year of 'quarantine' for most of the Western world has made people more comfortable with authoritarian governments and actions. It's rather alarming how widespread and quickly this change in ideology has happened.

I can't see that happening. Race is a valuable tool in capital's toolbox of divisiveness.

Very good answer. The key difference is the size it also offers you much more flexibility it would seem in terms of the role you can fill. You can always add more blimps.

Oddly, this post now has 2 more comments than the original and still no discussion of the topic.

God rods as you've described, space lasers or ICBM bound spec ops are the most likely candidates imo.

Good thing he had a taser. Shame it's so hard to get a carry permit for a firearm in SF when things like this happen. At least he was prepared as best he could given the location. Is it a good thing he had to be armed at all? No.

You joke... but having personally seen how many decisions are made this way at high levels of corporations and even government this is rather plausible.

Agreed 100%, I've only ever had my companies win ~$5m while bidding on 50m+ over 10 years most losses ended up in program failure due to likely graft... It's just the way it is.

In addition to that this can't go the way of smallpox because covid has animal reservoirs. Smallpox did not so we could eliminate it. Vaccine or no, we've known since the beginning that eradicating this virus was nigh impossible.

That's fair although he's probably elected by a lesser of 2 evils situation and hasn't been targeted by a serious primary contender yet.

Not to come off ageist but(famous last words), making a decision that impacts the lives of 330m people when you're 40's, 50's even 60's is a lot different than at 87. At the more advanced age you don't really have to live with the consequences of your decisions and the people effected by them for very long.

Feels like misaligned incentives.

I don't doubt that they love the company store model. I've been offered AWS credits in lieu of cash for contract work.... after the cash amount was agreed to in writing and work was performed.
